*sigh* OK, Hale Tiki, give me your address; I'll package it up and....hey, waaaaaait a minute.
But, really; who might have made this and for what market was it intended?

It's actually worse than your gawdy tikis. It's a real piece of crap. Send it to me, I'll dispose of it for you.
What an amazing piece. I could not be more jealous.

Found this kava bowl last week at a local thrift shop. I have other kava bowls but this one is unique. Reminds me of the USS Enterprise.

To Lancelink...the three leg dish is call Sedreniwaiwai, it is from Fiji and is used by Priest to put oil in for anointing. Pretty nice find Mr. Jones
Lancelink: since they have been making tourist carvings since the 1800's it's pretty safe that it's a newer model. If it was well worn from coconut oil being rubbed from it over the years, and if the wood was a little darker it might be worth a bit more. They have museum replicas and can be had at places like Jack's of Fiji. Which is a good distance from here, that's why finding a Priest Oil Dish in the "Wild" is kinda cool...like finding a steel penny...doesn't happen everyday. Then again collections of true relics get busted up from time to time and you be lucky....The Games AFoot !!!

hottiki...Thanks for the information. Were these made for the tourist trade like some kava bowls were?

It has an O-A look to it to me. A similar carving is seen in BOT from "The Tikis" in Monterey. AWESOME find! Based on where you found it, might have come from Tulsa or KC. Who knows. Send a few pics to Bob and/or Leroy and see if they can claim it.
The 'Lope RULES!

Yes, it does look like pieces I shot at OA and in the London and Atlanta Trader Vics. I sent pics to Bob and Leroy; maybe I'll hear back. I paid $170 for it; I hope that wasn't too much. It's good to be here again. I'll read back a bit and catch up on what people are doing.

Found at my local "Saver's" The Aku Aku was my favorite tiki place I never went to and I love find stuff from there.
Cheers

I would personally be happy with paying $170 for that piece. I'm sure quite a few people would. It really is great.
